GP's Valuing General Practice campaign has got off to a tremendous start but there's much yet to accomplish.
This week's GP is full of campaign articles including a splash revealing global sums may benefit from a cut to QOF, a piece by the Medical Women's Federation arguing that practices should be incentivised to have partners, an editorial encouraging a radical rethink of the quality framework and a feature about the value of GPSIs in practices.
We're currently working on this week's issue but can reveal that the campaign has this week won the backing of the BMA and Londonwide LMCs.
Professor Steve Field, RCGP chairman, has written a piece explaining why the RCGP backs Valuing General Practice.
In it he says: 'If change in our healthcare system is to be successful, it must be clinician-led. Strong GP leadership is needed at all levels, but most importantly at local level to drive local change.'
Do you think change will be both local and clinician-led?
